Comparative genetic studies have demonstrated that gene content and orders are highly
conserved, both at the map and megabase level, between different species within the grass …

The genomes of grasses are very different in terms of size, ploidy level and chromosome
number. Despite these significant differences, it was found by comparative mapping that the …

Genetic linkage maps have been constructed for the rice and maize genomes on the basis
of orthologous loci detected with a common set of cDNA clones. Conserved linkage groups …

Comparative genetic mapping has indicated that the grass family (Poaceae) exhibits
extensive chromosomal collinearity. In order to investigate microcollinearity in these …

Genetic mapping of wheat, maize, and rice and other grass species with common DNA
probes has revealed remarkable conservation of gene content and gene order over the 60 …

Grasses are a large, diverse, and successful family of monocotyledonous flowering plants
characterized most dramatically by their spikelet style of floral structure (Fig. 1a) and by the …

Recent results from genome mapping and intergeneric sexual hybridization experiments
have shown that grasses are morphologically well-differentiated from other families and are …

Ten years ago, with the advent of comparative mapping, a new tool became available to
plant geneticists. Comparative genome analyses demonstrated that gene orders among …

A set of cDNA clones, which had previously been mapped onto wheat chromosomes, was
genetically mapped onto the chromosomes of rice. The resulting comparative maps make it …

Conventionally, the genetics of species of the family Gramineae have been studied
separately. Comparative mapping using DNA markers offers a method of combining the …
